About the Family
The numbered visas were issued by Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Bordeaux on June 5 and June 11, 1940.
The family crossed into Portugal, where some members lived in Lisbon and others were in Figueira da Foz. David and Enia LERNER, along with their three children, Henriette, Sabine, and Yvonne, sailed from Lisbon to New York on the ship Nyassa in December 1940. Jacques and Mia LERNER, along with their three children, Armand, Ines, and Sylvain, also sailed on the Nyassa in December 1940. Irene and Marcel LERNER sailed with Cyrla ENGEL to New York on the Serpa Pinto in December 1940. Abraham and Livia LERNER, along with their four children, Antoinette, Hélène, Henri Robert, and Paulette, sailed from Lisbon to New York on the ship Nyassa in April 1941. This family is linked with the SPINNER/WILENSKY family and the GREIZERSTEIN/NEULINGER family.
